TECHNICAL FIELDThe present disclosure relates to the field of chip packaging technologies, and in particular, to a chip package structure and a manufacturing method thereof.
BACKGROUNDAs a chip process node increasingly drops, chip integration is increasingly improved. A small size, a high rate, and high performance have become a development trend of an electronic component. An increasing quantity of transistors per unit area in a chip leads to an increasingly high power density and increasingly challenging thermal management on the chip. In a system-level chip package (such as System-in-Package (SiP)) structure, multiple heterogeneous chips and discrete devices are packaged and integrated into a small-size system. Because different chips have different power consumption in different operating states, a problem such as heat accumulation or uneven heat dissipation easily occurs in a SiP structure. At present, a commonly used technology for improving a heat dissipation capability of the chip is to add a heat dissipation apparatus, such as a metal heat sink or a thermo electric cooler (TEC), on a passive surface of the chip using a thermal interface material (TIM). Heat generated by the chip is finally transferred to the air. However, for a system-level chip package, this heat dissipation manner cannot achieve rapid and even heat dissipation of the multiple heterogeneous chips and discrete devices, and therefore is not conducive to improving heat dissipation efficiency for the system-level chip package.
SUMMARYEmbodiments of the present disclosure provide a chip package structure and a manufacturing method thereof, and a terminal using the system-level chip package structure in order to implement rapid and even heat dissipation for multiple chips and multiple discrete devices in a system-level chip package, and improve heat dissipation efficiency for the system-level chip package structure and the terminal.
A first aspect of the embodiments of the present disclosure provides a chip package structure, including a substrate, multiple chips and multiple discrete devices that are packaged on an upper surface of the substrate, and a heat dissipation apparatus, where the heat dissipation apparatus includes an insulation layer and a thermally conductive layer that are laminated, and the insulation layer completely encloses and adheres to outer surfaces of the multiple chips, outer surfaces of the multiple discrete devices, and the upper surface of the substrate and configured to conduct heat generated by the multiple chips and the multiple discrete devices to the thermally conductive layer and the substrate such that the heat generated by the multiple chips and the multiple discrete devices is dissipated using the thermally conductive layer and the substrate.
In the chip package structure, the heat dissipation apparatus including the insulation layer and the thermally conductive layer that are laminated is disposed, and the insulation layer completely encloses the multiple chips and multiple discrete devices in the chip package and the upper surface of the substrate in order to effectively increase a heat dissipation area, and implement even and rapid heat dissipation for the multiple chips and the multiple discrete devices.
In an implementation, the insulation layer and the thermally conductive layer that are laminated coincide in a projection direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the substrate.
In an implementation, the insulation layer is further configured to conduct the heat generated by the multiple chips and the multiple discrete devices to the air such that the heat generated by the multiple chips and the multiple discrete devices is directly dissipated using the insulation layer.
Because the insulation layer is in direct contact with the air at an edge position close to the substrate, the heat generated by the multiple chips and the multiple discrete devices may be further directly dissipated using the insulation layer in order to further improve a heat dissipation speed.
In an implementation, the insulation layer is made of a formable insulating material.
The insulation layer made of the formable insulating material is used. Therefore, when the heat dissipation apparatus is being cured to a system-level chip package, the insulation layer can closely adhere to the outer surfaces of the multiple chips, the outer surfaces of the multiple discrete devices, and the upper surface of the substrate in a manner such as thermo compression in order to effectively increase a heat dissipation area, and implement rapid heat dissipation for the multiple chips and the multiple discrete devices.
In an implementation, the thermally conductive layer is made of a thermally conductive material and a formable insulating material.
In an implementation, the thermally conductive material is evenly doped with the formable insulating material.
The thermally conductive material is evenly doped with the formable insulating material to form the thermally conductive layer. The thermally conductive layer can also have good formability by means of formability of the insulating material. The evenly doped thermally conductive material is used to ensure that all areas of the thermally conductive layer have even thermal conductivity in order to implement even heat dissipation for the multiple chips and the multiple discrete devices.
In an implementation, the thermally conductive material includes one or more of graphene, a graphite sheet, or a boron nitride sheet.
In an implementation, the formable insulating material includes at least one of an epoxy resin or a polyimide.
The grapheme, the graphite sheet, or the boron nitride sheet is evenly doped with the epoxy resin or the polyimide in different proportions to form the thermally conductive layer. Further, good thermal conduction efficiency can be ensured, and a heat dissipation speed can be improved. Further, it can be ensured that the thermally conductive layer has good formability. Therefore, when the heat dissipation apparatus is being cured to a system-level chip package, the thermally conductive layer can change with shape changes of the outer surfaces of the multiple chips, the outer surfaces of the multiple discrete devices, and the upper surface of the substrate in a manner such as thermo compression in order to further increase a heat dissipation area, and improve heat dissipation efficiency for an entire system-level chip package.
In an implementation, the chip includes any one of a wire bonding chip or a flip chip.
In an implementation, the chip package structure further includes multiple solder balls, and the multiple solder balls are disposed in an array on a lower surface of the substrate.
